Well, I figured out – if digital is dead then I need to put the heavy artillery in the fight I begin to spin records. With my TT setup I have an interesting tool - I run my input-choke powered “End of the Life” Phonostage via an RCA-made 100W isolation transformer from in 1920 or 1930. The transformer is absolutely unique as it completely cures all electricity problems. None of the other isolation transformers (and I have quite a few) help to my phonostage. Also, this RCA transformer doe NOT help to any other devise I tried it with. I have to note also that this RCA transformer in some case does not help to phonostage as well (depends what specifically is wrong with electricity) but it is VERY effective in I would say 95% of all cases). So, the analog sound very nice this time. I was able to play is as loud as I wish (I plays it 6-8 loader then Digital files with no complain from my visitor), the basses were as they shell be (you need to hear what the New Jubilee does with bass!) and the top regions were as soft as transparent as I would expected, with no signs of any kind to force themselves to listener’s perception.

Just yesterday I reported in the post above how marvelously my RCA transformer cures the sound. Today I have some time and I decided to record for LBJ a cut of Rach II to show off the Jubilee colorfulness.

I played the record into Lavry Gold ADC and listened the file. It was not just bad but it was a nightmare. I figured that Lavry went south. Then I played the phonostage to speakers – the same crap - juts a flat wall of gray sound and nothing else.  There was absolutely nothing changed between yesterday and today and my “kinky” transformer did not work anymore. Just for fun I pull the plug from the transformer and plugged it to the wall.  It was a magnificent transformation – with huge and supremely soft bass, very large sound… but believe me or now it was virtually monophonic imaging. I never saw it like this. I shut it down – it was too much for me.
